"This is the perfect restaurant to hide out in, as it's tucked way, way back in the alley building on Broadway. The staff is super friendly, and it's a great way to pass the afternoon."

"The roasted pig is slow-cooked in a wood-fired oven, then cooked again in a broth with Manila clams. Chorizo, clams, smoked paprika, bay scented potato, and chicharrón—the dish is simply amazing!"
"The lively energy and group dining at Tavolata is great, but personally, I prefer to eat at the bar with a glass of Italian wine and a bowl of pasta."

"This dish is a classic! It's a combination of Northwest ingredients and Pacific Rim flavors, kicking the flavor of the standard crab cake up a notch. Chef Chris Keff has a good thing going with this one!"

"Chris Keff does a great job with fish in general. Her platter of a whole fried fish served with Asian pancakes and spicy sauces really hits the spot."

"The crisp Romaine, rich Caesar dressing, hot crispy oysters, and Parmigiano-Reggiano provide a nice contrast of both flavors and textures. There's just enough dressing to complement the fresh taste of the oysters without overpowering them. I can't get enough of this dish!"
